It seems Microsoft's deal with Konami to bring Pro Evolution Soccer 6 to Xbox 360 first has been less than successful. Forums have been packed with complaints about the lack of features on the next gen version, compared to Playstation 2 and rightly so. This review seems to sum up 360 gamers feelings on the matter.

... which is still their best PES game. Brilliant game. I remember scoring screamers from free-kicks with PSV's Alex. He has such a hard shot. :)
As a Chelsea fan who's had the honour of sitting directly in line with a couple of real life Alex free kick blasts I can concur that Konami did , indeed, get that part of his career bang on in PES5! If anything the bugger hit's em even harder these days!
... and is a great defender as well. One of the best there ever played in the Dutch Eredivisie, but sadly he isn't getting as much playing time at Chelsea. Would have been nice if Hiddink would have joined Chelsea :)
I'm surprised one of the other clubs haven't made a move for him (Alex) yet.
Shadowlocked - It's a rare event, but every once in a while a videogame gives us a character that, whether immediately or over time, we come to loathe. But just who are the worst offenders?...
50 cent need to stick to music bc video games isn't his best genre
I would rather kick bowser b4 princess preach, my god its the same thing with that guy. Always taking some1 else's woman but can't find his own....w8 where them children of his come from. I know bowser can't asexual(basically mean have kids without the need of another person) reproduce. There are more annoying character the Sonic series than tails. Scotty's finishing move, "The Worm" lol I remember that.
the thing is with scotty, and the worm, yeah the move, when you look at it objectively, is ridiculous, but what it did have was that the crowds at the shows absolutely loved it.
and you know why? audience participation, that's why he kept that ridiculous move for so long.
when you watch it on tv or in a game, then it is just kinda ridiculous, but tfor the live crowd, it's their chance to be involved.
i'd vote for kratos, seriously, the most one note character in all of gaming, maybe a close second to gordon freeman.
of course i'd have to run away very fast afterwards because that guy's a frikkin psycho.
I fully agree on that 50 cent guy being No1. I can't stand that guy, sorry. Neither in agame nor in reality. :(

Crossing the divide to support another franchise is a relatively rare occurrence. There are two major derby matches in the football gaming calendar and they feature a bitter enmity which has built up over the last few years. The first is Pro Evolution versus FIFA and the second is Championship Manager versus Football Manager."
To a point i agree with this particular review, 360 wise Konami have been very lazy indeed, FIFA has shown what is possible oon the 360, but throughout all versions this has always been the case, so really shouldn`t come as to much of a shock. Its not hard to see where Seabass real loyalties lie tbh(PS2). Online lag is the biggest issue for me, and as the review points out, its like learnig a totally different control mechanism!!! The hard to score point is not so big for me, Its just about practice, as with any game, it just makes it all the more rewarding when you do score. Next year im sure we will see the REAL next gen version, Im gonna stick my neck on the line now and say, it wouldn`t suprise me if there was some form of PS3 exclusivity attached. But we`ll soon find out.
Whats wrong with an 8 out of 10 last time i checked that was good...atleast they arent pulling an EA and purposely screw the next-gen version of a game until all systems are out
but i didnt wanna kick something of with the fanboys. I walked into a HMV store and they had PES6 running on a 360 kiosk, so i thought i'd check it out. I was shocked how bad it looked. I was watching some kids play a match, and when u play the game and it has a kinda overhead view of the pitch (the normal camera), the game looked EXACTLY like the ps2 version. If it were a ps2 kiosk i wouldnt have been suprised. It looked so bad
I dunno what konami pulled with this but, PES on the 360 looks oh so crap
...but im very disappointed with this game. I picked it up early, rushed to the shops when they said it had been released before the official date, but #3s rite... it lacks so much graphically its insane! Ive always loved the PES game in general, and i thort i could forgive the 'current gen' graphics, even tho id bought this for my 360, but so many other features have gone! You cant even create ur own team / kit or anything in the Masterleague! Nor edit team names atall!! I feel a bit robbed by konami, and i have a feeling that i mite jump ship to EA unless they get releasing some Free downloadable updates to allow some of the content the game so sorely needs
Im tired of all you fools complaining about pro evo just take a minute and pull your heads out your own ass's.
The same thing happens with every new pro evo, people moan like hell then afterwards they realise how brilliant the game is.
Its just sad...
